Abstract

Integration of Web-Services and “smart objects” in supply chain manufacturing systems (SCM) enables enterprise innovation and competitiveness in a globalized economy. The paper proposes a web-service based architecture for SCM that enables enterprises to develop context-awareness and to achieve interoperability at data, services, processes and business levels using event based web service notifications. The architecture is analyzed and implemented following the case study of an enterprise in the automotive industry.
